The Royal College of Pathologists asked me to represent them on an interview panel in Bridgend and I found myself in this excellent old mental hospital that was being part demolished. Luckily I had a camera. This chimney and associated building stands amidst much devastation. I think this is being retained and appears to contain live plant.
